Ozzie Guillen wants the Sox to be as high as they can be

“We have to win the series there (in Minnesota). There’s no doubt. If we lose this series, it’s going to be hard for us to get where we want to get. It’s going to be pretty tough, and hopefully those guys know about it.”

Where do we want to get to? Unprotected draft pick (16-30)? A quick look of the standings shows 12 teams with worse records than the Sox. Maybe we can pass the Brewers and the Cubs. That’s 14. We need one more.

“I’m pretty sure because the momentum of the ballclub, if we don’t win this series in Minnesota, I don’t think this ballclub is going to be as high as it can be.”
